Merry Christmas!

I had a great christmas this year. I got a digital camera, some movies, and clothes. I spent the day hanging out with the fam and Eric at home. We played games and stuffed ourselves and all that good stuff. I really didn't take any pictures because my camera was charging, sorry.

Here is Kenya with her stocking

Grandma

My grandma passed away today. I'm sad that she's gone, but happy that she's in a better place. Love you grandma!

Christmas with Riley

Ron, Lori, Lacey & Riley came over tonight to exchange christmas presents. Riley is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen in my life. He is such a dang cutie





He's really excited about the outfit I got him




He's got a funny face in this one


Such a happy boy

Gingerbread Houses

So we had quite an eventful Sunday. We had the normal amount of people we usually do, plus Ron & Lori and my boyfriend (yes, it's official) Eric here too. We made gingerbread houses and then had dinner. It was lots of fun. It was also Eric's first gingerbread house he's ever made, so that was a fun first :)

Eric & Riley... so cute :)


Avrie, David, Baylie, & Carrie all workin hard


He decided my arm was more fun to decorate

Temple Square

Ron & Lori invited me to go to temple square with them last night. They are the best:) We walked around and saw the lights and then went to starbucks and got hot chocolate after.

Weekend Fun

I went and spent the weekend with my "friend" Eric. We went 4 wheeling and horseback riding and all kinds of fun stuff. It was a blast.

This is Chester. He's so pretty




And this is Eric :)

Twilight

So, i went to see Twilight at 2:30 Friday morning. The only thing I can say about it is that is was AWESOME! It was definitely worth getting no sleep and standing in line and all that fun stuff. The only complaint I have about it is it just wasn't long enough. The book is so much more detailed (obviously) so I just wish the movie would've been longer. But, i recomend seeing it to everyone! I LOVE IT!

Just a side note: I don't love it so much that I want to marry edward, and I don't love it so much that I think vampires are real... just wanted to clarify :)

Alzheimers

For those of you who don't know, I'm going to school for nursing. I just finished up my nursing assistant class last week, and before that, I spent 3 saturdays working in assisted living/long term care facilities for part of my training. So, i just wanted to preface this video with that so you know how much I enjoy working with older people. Every time I see this video it cracks me up. Maybe it won't have the same effect on you.... but I sure enjoy it :)

Riley pictures

The best thing in my life is Riley, and I take lots and lots of pictures of him. There's not too much to update on him. He's now 5 1/2 months and is still growing every day I swear. Here's just some random pictures from last week.

He looks so freakin cute in this picture








Ron let him suck on a rib bone. He definitely enjoyed it

Baylie's 8!!

I can't believe I now have 2 nieces that are 8. I'm not old enough for this:) Anyway, Baylie's baptism was really nice and I'm so proud of her for making the decision to be baptized. She's an awesome little girl, and always makes me laugh. Love you Bayster!

Baylie and Avrie right after the baptism

Halloween Time

I had a pretty good Halloween this year. Lori brought Riley and Lacey to my office so I could show him off and so Lacey could go trick or treating with Avrie. They got so much candy, they didn't even need to go out that night.

Avrie was Snow White and Lacey was Elfuba(sp?) Aka the wicked witch of the west


Riley was a puppy dog... he's just too cute




Then for Halloween night, I went over to Carrie & David's and went trick-or-treating with the girls. They had a lot of fun and they were all so cute

Baylie's a ghost, Avrie's Snow White, Kenadie's a monkey, and Kayhlen's a chili pepper


Cute babies

My babies

So, since I'm not privileged enough to be married and have my own kids to blog about, I will blog about my other babies, which are pretty much my kids to me :) I just love these pictures so I wanted to put them up.

Here are my cute kitties napping together



We have this little dresser in the doorway of the cat's room so Kenya can't get in. This is what she does every time I'm in the cat's room. It's so cute. I just love her puppy dog face.

Pretty much pro

I wasn't really planning on carving a pumpkin this year, but mom bought me one when she went to the pumpkin patch with the girls, so since I had it, I decided to do it. I was totally kidding about the professional part... but the picture looks pretty dang cool

Baby Shower Invites

For those of you who don't know, I've gotten really into scrap booking ever since Riley was born. So I made Carrie's baby shower invitations all by myself. It's the first project I've done totally on my own so I'm pretty proud of myself. It's not a big deal... but this is as exciting as my life gets :)

Poor Kitty

So, yesterday morning I noticed that Shadow had this area of fur that was all crusty and stuff. As I looked closer I noticed that she had a sore of some kind. I didn't really pay much attention to it, I mentioned it to mom and neither of us thought it was anything serious, we figured it would just heal and that would be that. So, last night when I got home, mom called me into her room and had Shadow on her lap. We looked closer at it again and it looked bigger and it was bleeding. So I planned on getting up this morning and making an appointment to get her in today. So... we get to the vet and he shaves the area around it. He then shows me that it was a cat bite and one of the puncture areas had gotten infected and was causing this abscess. He tells me what they'll have to do and blah blah blah, I figured a couple stitches and that would be it. Man was I wrong. So, 4 hours and 400 dollars later...

Her eyes are all crusty, that's why the one isn't open


So, they had to take out all the infected stuff and then cleaned and stitched up the other little puncture areas too, and the thing sticking out of her is a drain


It's so sad to look at her, poor kitty

He is huge!

Riley is seriously so dang big. He weighs 17 pounds and is only 4 months old! He is so long and just thick. He looks like he's 8 months old.
